Gladiator has the advantage in speed and overall diversity of powers. Hercules is slightly stronger, more experienced, a better fighter and has more stamina. If the battle is man-to-man close combat Herc wins based on his advantages. Gladiator could win the battle using long range attacks, but why would Gladiator stay out of Herc's reach unless he lacked confidence in which case he'd be far from his usual nigh-invincible self and Herc would take him out by hurling any number and variety of objects at him until he went down.

Heat vision (powerful enough to punch a hole in Hulk's chest)? Freeze Breath (strong enough to hold Thor and Wonderman for a few)? None of that matters?
Gladiator should be the winner here in all seriousness, his record sucks against top tiers though. The same Bannerless hulk who pushed Kallark's shit in, Herc fought him at half his strength and put up a far better fight. He got the better of a Ares controlled Masterson Thor taking nearly a dozen hammer shots without going down and then overpowered him. Herc is a beast when he is motivated.
